[QUOTE="fergus, post: 93400, member: 6150"] Hi Steve, Did your doctor discuss any options other than Gliclazide as an alternative to Metformin? I have concerns over the long term effect of sulphonylureas such as Gliclazide to be honest. As an insulin-resistant type 2, your pancreas is already overproducing insulin and the Glic. will stimulate it to crank up production further still. While it may reduce blood sugar to begin with, over the longer term the stress on the pancreas can result in damage and loss of function. Did he discuss dietary strategies for reducing the requirement for insulin instead? fergus [/QUOTE]
